Ski in Yuzawa in Nigata

I went skiing first time in 10 year. It usually takes just 1.5 hour from Tokyo to Yuzawa in Niigata prefecture. Due to the heavy wind and snow, the Shinkansen (super express) was delayed. We had to sit on the train more than 4 hours to be back to Tokyo.

Mt. Fuji from Tokyo

Zoom in from mid Tokyo! It is clear day.


This ↓ is Mt. Fuji I took from the air last December. I think there are at least two things every Japanese loves. One is Sakura (cherry blossoms), another is Mt.Fuji. I have never met any Japanese who dose not love Sakura nor Mt. Fuji.
